Jul 07, 2020 — As a New Jersey native, I probably should have been to the high point earlier than this, but it always felt like such a long drive for such a small hike. It was indeed, but I had a few hours to kill and wanted to tick this one off my to-do list. You can also drive to the summit if that's your thing.
I followed the Appalachian Trail starting at a pull-off on Greenville Road and ascended to a minor ridge that led along a mostly flat trail for a while. I crossed a small creek and ascended on a rocky trail to a junction with the Monument/Shawangunk Trail. I took a right here and crossed the drive-up road, continuing along the trail to the summit. An absolutely overkill phallic monument sits atop the high point of NJ. Unfortuantely I had no views due to fog.
